Doing what they said couldn't be done


Some schools are missing their "No Child Left Behind" targets. Still, for all their whining and complaining about how unfair it is to have high expectations for a bunch of dumb kids, on average Virginia's schools are improving dramatically.

Overall, performance across the state improved, as 80 percent of the 1,821 public schools met the benchmark -- an increase over last year's 74 percent pass rate. For the first time since the No Child Left Behind law was enacted, Virginia as a state met federal standards.
The schools that missed the target must allow kids to transfer, or provide tutoring.
